Reference book for the TI-83 and TI-84 families.
If you have a TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator, you have a powerful,
sophisticated tool for advanced math. In fact, it’s so sophisticated that you
may not know how to take advantage of many of its features and functions.
That’s a good problem to have, and TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator For
Dummies is the right solution! It takes the TI-84 Plus to the next power,
showing you how to:
• Display numbers in normal, scientific, or engineering notations
• Perform basic calculations, deal with angles, and solve equations
• Create and investigate geometric figures
• Graph functions, inequalities, or transformations of functions
• Create stat plots and analyze statistical data
• Create probability experiments like tossing coins, rolling dice,
and so on
• Save calculator files on your computer
• Add applications to your calculator so that it can do even more
TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator For Dummies was written by C.C. Edwards,
author of TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator For Dummies, who has a Ph.D. in
mathematics and teaches on the undergraduate and graduate levels. The
book doesn’t delve into high math, but it does use appropriate math
examples to help you delve into:
• Using the Equation Solver
• Using GeoMaster and its menu bar to construct lines, segments,
rays, vectors, circles, polygons, perpendicular and parallel lines, and more
• Creating a slide show of transformations of a graph
• Using the Inequality Graphing application to enter and graph
inequalities and solve linear programming problems
There’s even a handy tear-out cheat sheet to remind you of important
keystrokes and special menus, And since you’ll quickly get comfortable
with the built-in applications, there’s a list of ten more you can download
and install on your calculator so it can do even more! TI-84 Plus Graphing
Calculator For Dummies is full of ways to increase the value of your TI–84
Plus exponentially.
